Lasagna (singular, pronounced ), also lasagne (plural, pronounced ), is both a form of
pasta in sheets (sometimes rippled, though seldom so in Italy) and also a dish, sometimes named lasagne al forno (meaning "oven-cooked lasagne") made with alternate layers of pasta,
cheese, and often
ragù (a
meat sauce) or
tomato sauce. While it is traditionally believed to have originated in
Italy , evidence has come to light suggesting that a very similar meal known as "loseyns" (pronounced 'lasan') was eaten in the court of
King Richard II of England in the
14th century. The recipe was also featured in the first cookbook ever written in England. However, the claim is far from universally accepted (see the much earlier
Roman use of "lasanum" below). The Italian embassy in
London particularly speaks out against such theories.
